Brian
steep twisty lanes through YFelinheli to get to it but a lovely spot. nicely laid out with everything you need for self catering, the memory foam mattress appears to have lost its memory though. I found it a great base to go exploring from,easy to get onto Anglesey or into the mountains or along the coast from here.

I think the property is nicer than the pictures show. Everything there that was needed. Owner extremely helpful, and always contactable, but rarely seen (despite living close-by!) Plan to return next year. Many thanks!

Spotlessly clean inside and modern. Very central to most attractions and the beautiful countryside that is North Wales. Only set back being the bed as others have mentioned. Sheets not fitting correctly quilt being way to heavy for summer and the mattress being worn out. Despite this would definitely return
